[0005]
In addition, there is also known a technique in which when a variable display game shifts to a reach state, a confirmed symbol (identification information) is reduced and displayed on a corner or the like of the drawing to emphasize the symbol for variable display.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, when the variable display game is shifted to the reach state as in the above-described conventional case, the symbol (identification information) that has been confirmed is displayed in a reduced size at the corners of the drawing to emphasize the symbol for variable display. The visibility of the identification information displayed is not necessarily ensured, and the visibility of the confirmed symbol displayed in a reduced manner may be lowered depending on the background or the appearance of the character.
[0007]
On the other hand, if it is attempted to ensure the visibility of a confirmed symbol displayed in a reduced state in the reach state, the background and the color of the character are restricted, which in turn is a factor that hinders the diversification of the variable display game.
[0008]
Furthermore, when the identification information and the background are displayed three-dimensionally using the 3D display as described above to the variable display game, the background pattern and color may change rapidly. In such a display state, the display is reduced. There is a risk that the frequency of decline in the visibility of the fixed symbol may increase, or if the visibility of the fixed symbol is to be secured, the movement and coloring of the background will be restricted, and the variety of variable display games There was a problem of inhibiting the conversion.
[0009]
Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and while ensuring a three-dimensional display of the background and the variation display of the identification information, the visibility of the identification information displayed in a reduced size is secured, and the interest of the variation display game is enhanced. It aims at improving.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention includes display control means for performing a variable display game for displaying the identification information in a variable manner in a plurality of variable display areas of the variable display device, and can give a specific game value in relation to the result mode of the variable display game. In the gaming machine, the identification information includes a decoration element that is displayed in 3D and an identification element that is pasted as a texture on the decoration element, and the display control unit is configured to perform the display based on the progress of the variable display game. An identification information display means for selecting whether or not to display a decoration element constituting the identification information and displaying the identification information, and an outline of the identification element based on a display mode of the identification information selected by the identification information display means Contour display means capable of changing the display mode of the display, and the background is displayed in 3D, and the identification information display means is configured to display the identification information that has been stopped after the reach game is confirmed. When the identification information is displayed as a 2D display and overlaid on a background 3D display, the outline display means displays the identification element in combination with the identification element and the decoration element. of the contour color changeable and is in accordance with the color of the decorative element, to display only the identification elements constituting the identification information without displaying the decorative element, prior to collapse the said identification element The outline color of the identification element is changed according to the background of the identification element .
[0017]
[Effect of the present invention]
According to the present invention, the identification information includes a decoration element displayed in 3D and an identification element pasted as a texture on the decoration element, and the display control means is based on the progress of the variable display game. The display includes identification information display means for selecting whether or not to display a decoration element constituting the identification information and displaying the identification information, and displays the background in 3D, and the identification information display means confirms the reach game.

[0037]
A key point of the gaming machine is provided with a decorative light emitting device such as a decorative lamp or LED. The gaming machine is also provided with a sound output device (speaker).
[0038]
FIG. 2 is a block configuration diagram showing a control system centered on the game control device 100.
[0039]
The game control device 100 is a main control device that comprehensively controls games, a CPU that controls game control, a ROM that stores invariant information for game control, and a RAM that is used as a work area during game control Is composed of a game microcomputer 101 having a built-in circuit, an input interface 102, an output interface 103, an oscillator 104, and the like.
[0040]
The gaming microcomputer 101 receives detection signals from various detection devices (special symbol start sensor 14, general winning opening sensors 17A to 17N, count sensor 15, continuation sensor 16, normal symbol start sensor 21) via the input interface 102. In response, various processes such as a jackpot lottery are performed. And, via the output interface 103, various control devices (display control device 150, discharge control device 200, decoration control device 250, sound control device 300), big prize opening solenoid 6, ordinary electric accessory solenoid 10, normal symbol display A command signal is transmitted to the device 23 and the like, and the game is comprehensively controlled.
[0041]
The discharge control device 200 controls the operation of the payout unit on the basis of a prize ball command signal from the game control device 100 or a ball rental request from a card ball rental unit (not shown) to cause the prize ball or the ball to be discharged. .
[0042]
The decoration control device 250 controls a decoration light emitting device such as a decoration lamp or LED based on a decoration command signal from the game control device 100, and also displays a special symbol memory display (special symbol hold LED) 18, a normal symbol memory. The display on the display 22 is controlled.
[0043]
The sound control device 300 controls sound effect output from the speaker. Communication from the game control device 100 to various subordinate control devices (display control device 150, discharge control device 200, decoration control device 250, sound control device 300) is unidirectional from the game control device 100 to the subordinate control device. Only communication is allowed. Thereby, it is possible to prevent an illegal signal from being input to the game control device 100 from the dependent control device side.
[0044]
The display control device 150 performs display control of 2D and 3D images, and includes a CPU 151, a VDP (Video Display Processor or 3D image rendering means) 152, DRAMs 153 and 154, an interface 155, a ROM 156 that stores programs, image data ( CGROM 157 storing design data, background image data, moving image character data, texture data, and the like, and an LCD I / F for driving liquid crystal.
[0045]
The CPU 151 executes the program stored in the PRGROM 156 and creates 2D screen information (symbol display information, background screen information, video character screen information, etc.) based on a signal from the game control device 100, or a 3D image. Information coordinate calculation (geometry calculation) or the like is performed, and these calculation results are stored in the DRAM 153.
[0046]
Based on the image information stored in the DRAM 153, the VDP 152 draws a 2D or 3D image and stores it in the DRAM 154 as a frame buffer. Then, the image of the DRAM 154 is sent to the LCD I / F 158 at a predetermined timing (vertical synchronization, horizontal synchronization), and is output to the variable display device 4 composed of liquid crystal.
[0047]
The drawing processing performed by the VDP 152 performs 2D and 3D point drawing, line drawing, triangle drawing, and polygon drawing. Furthermore, for 3D images, texture mapping, alpha blending, shading processing (glow shading, etc.), hidden surface removal (Z buffer processing) Etc.) and the 3D object set by the CPU 151 is drawn on the DRAM 154 as a frame buffer. It is also possible to set a 2D frame buffer and a 3D frame buffer as the frame buffer, and to superimpose (overlay) the 2D image on the 3D image.
[0048]
The interface 158 between the VDP 152 and the variable display device 4 may be selected as appropriate according to the type of the variable display device. Here, liquid crystal is used for the variable display device 4, but a display such as a CRT, EL, or plasma is used. When adopting the above, an interface 158 corresponding to these display devices may be used.
[0049]
Further, the CGROM 157 stores 2D data such as identification information used in the variable display game, background, characters, 3D object data, and texture data.
[0050]
In front of the interface 155, a buffer circuit 160, which is a signal transmission direction regulating means, is provided, and only signal input from the game control device 100 to the display control device 150 is allowed, and from the display control device 150 to the game control device 100. Signal output is prohibited.
[0051]
Next, an outline of the game will be described according to the flowchart of FIG.
[0052]
First, at the beginning of the game (or before the start of the game), the customer waiting state is entered, and a signal instructing display of the customer waiting screen is transmitted from the game control device 100 to the display control device 150, and the variable display device 4. The customer waiting screen (moving image or still image) is displayed on the screen.
[0053]
Then, when the game ball launched into the game area 3 wins the start opening 7, a predetermined random number is extracted by the game control device 100 based on the win, and a lottery drawing of the variable display game is performed, and the game control is performed. A signal for instructing the variable display is transmitted from the apparatus 100 to the display control apparatus 150, and the variable display of a plurality of symbols is started in the variable display areas on the left, right, and center of the display of the variable display apparatus 4.
[0054]
When a predetermined time elapses after the start of the variable display, the variable display is temporarily stopped in the order of, for example, left, right, and middle (for example, the pattern is slightly changed at the stop position). When a state (for example, a combination in which the left symbol and the right symbol may generate a jackpot combination) occurs, a predetermined reach game is performed. In this reach game, for example, the variation display of the inside symbol is performed at a very low speed, the variation is performed at a high speed, or the variation display is reversed. In addition, background display and character display in accordance with the reach game are performed.
[0055]
The temporary stop state is a state in which the player can recognize the symbol as a substantially stopped state, and the final stop mode is not determined. The stopped state includes the temporary stop state and the state in which the symbol is stopped. State. As a specific example of the temporary stop state, in addition to the slight fluctuation at the stop position, there are modes such as displaying the symbol in an enlarged scale, changing the color of the symbol, changing the shape of the symbol, and the like.
[0056]
If the result of the jackpot lottery is a jackpot, the left, right, and middle symbols are finally stopped in a predetermined jackpot combination, and a jackpot (jackpot game) is generated.
[0057]
When the jackpot game is generated, a special game is performed in which the special variable winning device 5 is opened for a predetermined period. This special game is executed with a predetermined number (for example, ten) of game balls to be awarded to the special variable winning device 5 or a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) as one unit (one round). A predetermined round (for example, 16 rounds) is repeated on the condition that a winning in a continuous winning opening is detected (detection of a winning ball by the continuation sensor 16). When a jackpot game is generated, a signal for instructing the display control device 150 to display the jackpot game, such as a jackpot fanfare display, a round number display, a jackpot effect display, etc. is transmitted to the display control device 150. The jackpot game is displayed on the screen.
[0058]
In this case, if the jackpot is a specific jackpot, a specific gaming state is generated after the jackpot game, and the probability of the next jackpot occurrence is increased to a high probability, or fluctuation based on winnings to the starting hole 7 of the game ball as will be described later The variation display time of the variation display game of the display device 4 is shortened.
[0059]
When the game ball wins the start opening 7 during the variable display game or the big hit game (when the special symbol start memory is generated), the big hit game ends after the variable display game ends (when it is lost) or After that, a new variation display game is repeated based on the special symbol start memory. Further, when the variable display game is finished (when lost), or when the big hit game is finished, when there is no special symbol start memory, the waiting state is returned to the customer.
[0060]
When the game ball passes through the normal symbol start gate 20, a random number related to the normal symbol is extracted based on the passing or normal symbol start memory, and if the random number is hit, the normal symbol display 23 is hit and displayed. The normal variation winning device 8 at the starting port 7 is expanded for a predetermined time, and winning at the starting port 7 is facilitated.
[0061]
Next, an example of the variable display game shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 will be described.
[0062]
FIG. 4 shows the display area of the variable display device 4 during the variable display game. The three regions of the variable display device 4 are the left region 4L, the central region 4C, and the right region 4R. A special symbol (identification information) 40 drawn on the screen is arranged to display a variation.
[0063]
Special symbols displayed in the left, middle, and right regions 4L to 4R in FIG. 4 are a left symbol 40L, a middle symbol 40C, and a right symbol 40R.
[0064]
Each of the symbols 40L to 40R is sequentially pasted as a texture with an identification element 42 composed of symbols such as numbers, letters, or pictures on a barrel 41 as a decorative element displayed in a three-dimensional manner with a cylindrical rotating body. A variable display game by rotary scrolling is performed independently. The barrel 41 as a decoration element is a background of the identification element 42.
[0065]
Here, each of the symbols 40L to 40R includes an identification element 42 for determining a specific game value based on the stop mode and a decoration 1 that decorates the identification element 42, and the identification element 42 and the decoration element 41 is configured to be separable / combinable, and as shown in FIG. 4, immediately after the start of the variable display game, the identification elements 42 are sequentially attached to the barrel 41 and rotary scrolling is performed.
[0066]
Here, as shown in FIG. 4, the identification element 42 that rotates by being pasted to the barrel 41 of the three-dimensional figure by 3D display rotates so as to appear from the upper side and disappear downward to decorate the identification element 42. In FIG. 4, the barrel 41 to be rotated rotates around a virtual rotation shaft 41c. The virtual rotation axis 41c is not displayed on the fluctuation display device 4, and determines the movement of the barrel 41.
[0067]
The border (contour) 42A of the identification element 42 that can be separated and combined from the barrel 41 as a decorative element has a highly visible color (in this case, black) when the identification element 42 is coupled to the barrel 41. Is set.
[0068]
In FIG. 4, a background (background image) 50 is also displayed three-dimensionally, and a stone image 61 and buildings 62 and 63 are drawn three-dimensionally behind each special symbol 40.
[0069]
Although the case where the outer peripheral edge 42A is used as the outline of the identification element 42 has been shown, in addition to this, the identification element 42 is arranged on the substrate (graphic) that is slightly larger than the identification element 42, and the identification element 42 A contour may be set between the body and the substrate, or a contour may be set inside the identification element 42.
[0070]
Next, after the variable display is performed by the rotary scroll as shown in FIG. 4 for a predetermined time (for example, the time determined by the game control 100) in each of the display areas 4L to 4R, as shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not the identification element 42 is in the stopped state and shifts to the reach state.
[0071]
Here, as a condition for shifting to the reach state, when the left and right symbols 40L and 40R are in the stopped state, the identification element 42 is developed to reach game if the same symbols are aligned with each other. It becomes.
[0072]
In FIG. 5, since the discriminating elements 42 of the left and right symbols 40L and 40R in the stopped state are aligned with “7”, a “reach” character 43 is displayed informing that the game is shifted to the reach game. Note that the barrel 41 with the symbol fixed stops in the vertical direction, and only the middle symbol 40C that is not in the stopped state continues to rotate and scroll with the barrel 41 facing sideways.
[0073]
After the character 43 is displayed, the decoration element 41 that decorated the identification element 42 is disassembled and disappeared as shown in FIG. 6, and only the identification elements 42 and 42 are separated and independently displayed three-dimensionally. The
[0074]
From this point, the border 42A of the identification element 42 changes to a color (in this case, white) that can ensure visibility with respect to the background 50.
[0075]
Further, the two confirmed identification elements 42 and 42 are then reduced as shown in FIG. 7, and confirmed symbols (determined identification elements) 42L in the upper left corner and upper right corner, which are preset display areas. , 42R.
[0076]
Thereafter, the middle symbol 40C is rotated and scrolled while rolling on the road 64 displayed on the background 50 ', and the 3D display is performed so that the character 60 follows this. Further, as shown in FIG. A new character 59 appears and the large character 59 and the small character 60 confront each other every predetermined time, and the medium symbol 40C is switched and changed every time the confrontation occurs. A variable display game is played.
[0077]
As shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the background displayed stereoscopically changes to 50 ′, 50 ″ with a fast movement, and the characters 60, 60 are also displayed stereoscopically and change quickly. However, during this time, the fixed symbols 42L and 42R reduced to the left and right upwards have a border 42A composed of a color that is highly visible with respect to the backgrounds 50 ′ and 50 ″, so that the background changes quickly. In addition, although the visibility is not reduced with respect to the middle symbol 40C, the player can surely visually recognize the confirmed symbols 42L and 42R although being reduced, and the confirmed symbol 42L which is a confirmed identification element. By making the border 42A of 42R changeable according to the background, there is no need to add restrictions on the background and the coloring of the character, and the display mode of the variable display game can be expanded.
[0078]
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the identification element 42 is affixed to the barrel 41 as a decorative element during the variable display, and the border 42 </ b> A at this time is visible to the coloring of the barrel 41. Even when only the identification element 42 is displayed independently as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, a color with good visibility is set for the background. It becomes possible to ensure visibility at all times.
[0079]
In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, after the reach game is confirmed, the barrel 41 disappears from the left and right symbols 40 and becomes only the identification element 42. Therefore, when the identification element 42 and the decoration element 41 are combined. When the identification element 42 is independent, it can be easily known that the degree of progress of the variable display game is different. For example, from the player viewing the display state of FIG. 4 to the display state of FIG. Even if the variable display device 4 is not seen, only the identification element is independent in FIG. 7, and since it is reduced and displayed as the definite symbols 42L and 42R in a predetermined area at the corner of the screen, it shifts to reach game You can know what you did.
[0080]
Further, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 9, it is possible to know what kind of development the reach has reached to the present (progress notification) depending on the presence or absence of the barrel (decorative element) 41.
[0081]
Further, the reach notice, the jackpot notice or the reliability notification may be performed according to the display mode. For example, if there is no barrel 41 and only the identification element 42, the reliability is high and the barrel 41 is displayed. In this case, the reliability may be lowered, or when the barrel 41 is not displayed, the reliability may be increased as the outline color (the border 42A) of the identification element 42 becomes brighter.
[0082]
In addition, in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the interest of the variable display game can be further enhanced by adding modifications such as expanding and contracting the fixed symbols 42L and 42R every predetermined time period (for example, 1 second).
[0083]
Furthermore, the calculation load of the display control device 150 can be reduced by performing the overlay display on the 3D display of the backgrounds 50 ′, 50 ″, the characters 59, 60, etc., with the confirmed symbols 42L, 42R as the 2D display. The calculation load can be reduced, and the drawing process of the background and characters can be performed more realistically.
[0084]
Moreover, although the example which employ | adopted the barrel 41 as a decoration element which comprises the special symbols 40L-40R was described, you may rotate a cylinder shape, a pipe | tube, a stick | rod, etc. FIG.
[0085]
Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which the identification element 42 is separated from the barrel 41 after the reach game is shown. However, although not shown, the barrel 41 is displayed again when all symbols are stopped. The identification element 42 may be combined.
[0086]
Further, in the above embodiment, after the reach game, the identification element 42 is reduced and displayed separately from the barrel 41. However, depending on the progress mode of the variable display game, as shown in FIG. The left symbol 40L ′ and the right symbol 40R ′ in a state where the two are combined may be reduced and displayed in the upper corner area of the screen. In this reduced display, when there is no barrel 41 as a decoration element as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the size of the reduced identification elements 42L and 42R is determined by the identification element 42 ′ of FIG. By setting a larger value, it is possible to prevent the discrimination from deteriorating.
[0087]
In the above embodiment, an example in which the color (outline color) of the border 42A of the identification element 42 when the barrel 41 (decoration element) is not displayed is “white” is shown, but the color of the background 50 changes. In such a case, the color can be appropriately changed according to the change of the background 50 so that the visibility can be ensured. For example, when the background color is dark, the outline color is brightened, and when the background color is bright, the outline color is darkened, so the timing for changing the outline color is limited, and the outline color of the identification element 42 is not changed frequently. The visibility according to the change of the background 50 can be ensured.
[0088]
Of course, when the color or pattern of the barrel 41 changes, the color of the outline color (the border 42A) of the identification element 42 may be changed to a color that can ensure the visibility against changes in the color of the barrel 41. .
[0089]
Moreover, it should be thought that embodiment disclosed this time is an illustration and restrictive at no points. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description above, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.
